Description
Representation The DA rotary oil seal configuration has two spring-loaded elastomer lips facing each other with a metal housing for general two-way fluid sealing, fluid separation or contamination exclusion. Stainless steel belt springs provide uniform, constant loading to each elastomer lip on the shaft throughout the life of the seal. The spring keeps the elastic lip in contact with the shaft at higher shaft speeds and also helps compensate for normally occurring compression and wear of the lip material. * High resistance to gap extrusion.* Exceptionally strong resistance to abrasion.* Insensitive to impact loads and pressure peaks. Application For use in general pressure applications requiring two-way fluid separation or contamination exclusion.

FKM
Depending on their structure and fluorine content, the chemical resistance and resistance to the cold in fluororubbers can vary. This FKM-based rubber is very often used for high-temperature hydraulics and pneumatics, for industrial valves, injection/fuel systems, motor seals and high-vacuum systems.

NBR
Nitrile rubber (NBR) is the general term for acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymer. The ACN content can vary between 18% and 50%. While the acrylonitrile content is important, the resistance to oil and fuel is more so. Conversely, the elasticity and compression set are not as good. The NBR has good mechanical properties and good wear resistance. However, its resistance to atmospheric agents and the ozone is relatively low.
